Sole Bonne Femme

  Serves 6
     
 
I always find this takes a bit longer than the recipe implies, so be warned. It's a very simple, yet impressive dish. Good for dinner parties.
6 large sole filets Salt & freshly ground pepper
1 shallot, minced 1/4 lb finely chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup fish stock (hot) 1/2 cup dry white wine (hot)
1 bayleaf 2 tbl chopped parsley
1/2 tsp dried thyme 18 button mushroom tops
2 tbl butter 1 tbl flour
     
Sprinkle fillets of sole lightly with salt and pepper. Arrange in the bottom of a well-buttered baking dish and sprinkle with shallots and mushrooms. Add stock, wine, bayleaf, parsley, and thyme.

Cover and bake in a pre-heated oven at 350° (GM4) for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes. Transfer the fish to a heatproof platter, and pour the liquid into a small saucepan.

Cook the mushroom caps in butter for about 5 minutes, and place three on each serving of fish.

Cook the liquid (the stuff you just poured off the fish into a saucepan) until it has been reduced to 1 cup. Blend the flour with the 2 tbl butter and add to the reduced liquid. Bring to boiling point and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour the sauce over the fillets, covering them completely. Place the dish under the broiler just until the top is glazed.
